Summary
In React Native Windows, Pressable will by default handle
onKeyUp / onKeyDown
to callonPress / onPressIn / onPressOut
. We were missing that in React Native macOS, due to differences in our keyboard event API. React Native Windows sends all keyboard events to JS, whereas React Native macOS only sends keyboard events to JS ifvalidKeysUp / validKeysDown
is specified.Let's implement this default keyboard handling for Pressable in React Native macOS as well. The logic added is mostly a copy of the logic in React Native Windows with a few key differences:
validKeysDown
prop if the calling code doesn't specify one. This is needed due the API difference mentioned above.onPress
withonKeyDown
instead ofonKeyUp
. This is a platform difference between Windows and macOS. In Windows natively, button presses are preferred to be fired withonKeyUp
. Furthermore, you can "cancel" a button press by pressing Tab in between your keyDown and your keyUp. This quirk is not present in native macOS.Changelog
